And I'm listening to this person try to tell me, you know, and they don't even say his name.

They keep saying a man matching his description.

And it's like the only thing I could think of was I have to go home.

My kids just got out of school.

They're at the house.

I have to go home now.

I have to tell my children that their father was stabbed to death.

And Dad passed away early this morning.

She's got the big Disney princess eyes where they just welled up in tears.
